Time on My Hands

Preach it, brother.

What gets me are the people who are not only late for work on a regular basis, but late the same amount of time. I mean, if you’re consistently showing up at your job 10 minutes after you’re supposed to be there, how hard is it to figure out that you need to get started 10 minutes earlier?

This is especially irksome to me because I work at a high school. We spend thousands of dollars and hundreds of man-hours on ‘tardiness abatement’ programs aimed at getting the students to class on time. Yet not a single one of those programs contemplates even suggesting that the teachers might set a better example by being on time themselves.
